Default Push Rods

So my wife bought me some pushrods with the help from the guys a Texas Speed, they are the 7.400 chromoly pushrods.

My question is she didn't know anything about me running a .040 head gasket and the pushrods are on hold as of right now.

I will be doing a VRX6 cam with stock heads non-milled and all supporting mods including ls7 lifters.

Basically I was wanting to know if I can get by with the 7.400 or if I should change the order and get the pushrod checker and even change to the 11/32?

Any input or a quick answer would be appreciated.

Would that be the same as my 241's? Or is there a difference since the heads aren't the same casting

Taking the measurement is the only sure way to know. The adjustable push rod is a nice tool to have. I'm going to say you will probably need a shorter one.

This. Don't guess, measure then have 'em send the required length.
